Cyber Justice

This book introduces Cyber Justice as a viable approach for promoting good governance based on human rights norms in the internet. The author defines cyberspace as a borderless public space without common rules or government control mechanisms that protect and foster people’s activities within that space. In light of the growing scope of communications and interactions in the internet, the author shows how human rights and governance regimes can be adapted to cyberspace in order to ensure more accountability, transparency and interaction among those who use the internet and those who manage and provide internet services. This book will be of interest for scholars and policymakers interested in establishing governance regimes for cyberspace that will enjoy the support and trust of all users.

Il s’agit des travaux écrits du congrès mondial des huissiers de justice. Lors de ce congrès (qui se déroule tous les 3 ans) qui se tient à Dubaï fin novembre on désire donner un aperçu de la profession au travers du monde et des pays. Il s’agit de montrer ici particulièrement quel a été l’impact du Covid et de quelle manière la profession a réagie surtout au niveau de la digitalisation. Il s’agit de montrer que l’humain n’est pas dissociable de la digitalisation dans une matière aussi sensible que l’exécution forcée. Il s’agit de la première fois pour l’UIHJ de publier un ouvrage distribué au congrès qui sera disponible à la vente. Les résultats des travaux qui amènent à cet ouvrage sont cruciaux et important pour l’avenir de notre profession. L’expérience qui existe au sein de chacun des 93 membres de l’UIHJ est une richesse dont tout le monde doit s’inspirer dans un domaine aussi sensible que l’exécution forcée. Par ailleurs nous constatons dans notre profession d’huissier de justice que notre monde est entouré de la digitalisation et qu’on assiste à une émergence de notions que nous avons du mal à cerner tel que Blockchain, AI, Big Data, Machine Learning... au début ces termes ne nous faisaient pas peur, depuis l’apparition de la justice prédictive, des smart contrat qui s’auto exécutent il est temps pour la profession de réagir. L’ouvrage se veut donc le résultat de cette recherche à travers le monde afin de proposer des pistes et solutions concrètes de quelle manière l’huissier de justice peut-il enrichir la digitalisation dans un monde où on veut le contraire, c’est-à-dire promouvoir la fin des tiers de confiance.

In 2011, the United States government declared a cyber attack as equal to an act of war, punishable with conventional military means. Cyber operations, cyber crime, and other forms of cyber activities directed by one state against another are now considered part of the normal relations range of combat and conflict, and the rising fear of cyber conflict has brought about a reorientation of military affairs. What is the reality of this threat? Is it actual or inflated, fear or fact-based? Taking a bold stand against the mainstream wisdom, Valeriano and Maness argue that there is very little evidence that cyber war is, or is likely to become, a serious threat. Their claim is empirically grounded, involving a careful analysis of cyber incidents and disputes experienced by international states since 2001, and an examination of the processes leading to cyber conflict. As the authors convincingly show, cyber incidents are a little-used tactic, with low-level intensity and few to no long-term effects. As well, cyber incidents are motivated by the same dynamics that prompt regional conflicts. Based on this evidence, Valeriano and Maness lay out a set of policy recommendations for proper defense against cyber threats that is built on restraint and regionalism.

The book explores technological advances in the fourth industrial revolution (4IR), which is based on a variety of technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, machine learning, big data, additive printing, cloud computing, and virtual and augmented reality. Critically analyzing the impacts and effects of these disruptive technologies on various areas, including economics, society, business, government, labor, law, and environment, the book also provides a broad overview of 4IR, with a focus on technologies, to allow readers to gain a deeper understanding of the recent advances and future trajectories. It is intended for researchers, practitioners, policy-makers and industry leaders.
